· Mining digging or blasting to obtain the copper ore from the surrounding rock Crushing mined copper ore is crushed into very small pieces Grinding crushed copper ore is ground into a powder Concentrating by flotation (also known as froth flotation or as ore flotation). Mining produce ores containing 2 or less of copper.

· The chemical synthesis of monoatomic metallic copper is unfavorable and requires inert or reductive conditions and the use of toxic reagents. Here we report the environmental extraction and conversion of CuSO4 ions into single-atom zero-valent copper (Cu) by a copper-resistant bacterium isolated from a copper mine in Brazil. Furthermore the biosynthetic mechanism of Cu production is

· In past years Chile has been the largest copper producer in the world and for 2002 mining represented country average of 10 of the GDP accounting for 47 of the total exportation. As copper sulphides are the main mining resources in the country the metal is produced using the classical processes of flotation and pyrometallurgical extraction.

· General chemistry and introductory chemistry students were presented with a laboratory exploration for the determination of the mass percent of copper in rock and mineral samples. They worked independently in the laboratory which involved multiple lab (pipetting preparing standard solutions by quantitative dilution recording visible spectra with spectrometers) and data analysis skills
Chat OnlineInnovations Introduction to Copper Mining Extraction
· The barren rock or gangue has to be separated from the sulfide minerals in order to smelt the metallic copper from the ore. By far the greatest proportion of copper is extracted from the sulfides of copper iron and sometimes other metals. Such ores originate from sulfur-bearing volcanic magmas which have separated into metal sulfides and siliceous melts.
Chat OnlineCopper Mineral information data and localities.
Pure copper metal is generally produced from a multistage process beginning with the mining and concentrating of low-grade ores containing copper sulfide minerals (such as chalcopyrite or chalcocite) and followed by smelting and electrolytic refining to produce a pure copper cathode. An increasing share of copper is produced from acid leaching

· Copper Chemistry. " For nearly 5000 years copper was the only metal known to man. Today it is one of the most used and reused of our modern metals." Humans first used copper about 10 000 years ago. A copper pendant discovered in Northern Iraq is thought to date back to around 8700 BC.
Chat OnlineCopper Mining and Extraction Sulfide Ores
They occur in both sedimentary and igneous rocks. The outer 10 km of the crust contains 33 g of copper for every tonne of rock. This is not enough to make it commercially viable to extract the rock. Copper mines are only set up where there is more than 5 kg of copper per tonne of rock (0.5 by mass). Ideally the figure should be closer to 2 .

Despite this early production most copper used in the United States was imported from Chile until 1844 when mining of large deposits of high-grade copper ore around Lake Superior began. The development of more efficient processing techniques in the late-1800s allowed the mining of lower-grade copper ores from huge open-pit mines in the

Chat OnlineExtraction Of Copper Mining Concentration Smelting
Copper Mining The commonest ore used in the extraction of copper is Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) also known as Copper Pyrites and other such sulphides. The percentage of copper in the actual ore is too low for direct extraction of copper to be viable. The concentration of ore is required and it is done by the Froth Flotation method.
